Description of Working Group:

The OSI-DS group works on issues relating to building an OSI Directory
Service using X.500 and its deployment on the Internet.  Whilst this
group is not directly concerned with piloting, the focus is practical,
and technical work needed as a pre-requisite to deployment of an open
Directory will be considered.

 Goals and Milestones:

   OCT 90       Maintain a Schema for the OSI Directory on the Internet. 

   OCT 90       Liaisons should be established as appropriate. In 
                particular: RARE WG3, NIST, CCITT/ISO IEC, North American 
                Directory Forum. 

   Done         Study the relationship of the OSI Directory to the Domain 
                Name Service. 

   Done         Definition of a Technical Framework for Provision of a 
                Directory Infrastructure on the Internet, using X.500. This 
                task may later be broken into subtasks. A series of RFCs 
                will be produced.
